Thursday night was the public preview performance of The Firecracker Incident. It went pretty well, I thought.
Yesterday was the District competition. Apparently, it went *really* well -- they came in first. The entire cast got Superior Acting awards and the entire crew got Superior Presentation, as well as awards for Props and Lighting. (It does rather sound like the judges hand out Superior awards like candy, but they really don't.) Apparently, working with a professional director (on loan from The Purple Rose) makes a big difference.
I drove and ran the feeding tables, so I was gone all day. And then I get home and there's a note from the choir director "am sick; no choir practice (do the piece we rehearsed last week); Jenn, can you play offertory?" I'm thinking that we may skip the Anthem altogether, as the "choir" may be only three people, and I'm not really a soloist. We shall see.
The birds did not get fed yesterday, so I need to do that now. the squirrels have figured out how to pull the seed bell down off the hook and pry at the seeds. They can't get the cage open, but they do manage to dig at the seed cake inside. I really don't know what to do about that. Maybe a pole with a squirrel baffle?
